A head in a dream is the way a person holds their place and their standing in the world. This symbol is the site where the self meets the eyes of others, showing how a person is seen and how they exert their influence.
The sorting of this image often involves the tension between how authority is held and how it might be lost. A dream of this kind concerns the weight of a reputation and the ways a person tries to keep hold of their social or professional life. There is a possibility that a sudden shift in these circumstances can leave a person feeling unmoored. The dream leaves room for a reorganization of how personal dignity is understood.
A face in a dream adds the layer of how that reputation is actually visible to others, moving the focus from the concept of standing to the specific way honor or shame is displayed.
A dream involving being stabbed in the head or a bleeding head points to a sharp, invasive drain on the very energy that fuels a person’s agency. This loss of internal force leaves the dreamer feeling depleted and vulnerable.
A dream of being hit on the head or hitting someone in the head describes a moment of impact that jars the mind and brings a sudden, sharp clarity.
The dreamer finds themselves shaving a head, seeing a bald head, or encountering a shaved head, which all point to the yielding of outward status. This act strips away the ornaments of rank to reveal a more essential way of being.
The sight of a severed head indicates a complete and radical break from a former way of being or a total loss of the capacity to direct one’s own life.
The presence of a brain turns the focus inward toward the gathering of deep, intuitive insights that are not immediately apparent to the conscious mind.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
